When the Shang-Chi movie came out, the Ten Rings reminded me of the iron rings used by one of the hidden masters (The Tailor). Incidentally the Landlord was in Shang-Chi too, as one of the elders in Talo.
His name is Yuen Wah, he was one of the ' seven little fortunes ' of the Peking Opera School. The other fortunes where also big names like Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao. Yuen Wah also doubled for Bruce Lee in 'Enter The Dragon'. The man is a real kung fu legend.
absolutely one of the best martial arts type of movies ever made, doesnt take itself too seriously but it's got what everybody comes to expect from the genre, humor, atmosphere and ass-kicking.
I love how the series is an anagram from the power levels in chinese mytho's power level. That nuance i feel like is overshadowed. It started off as a karate film but by the end they covered all types of wu shu combat in the film. It start off with bo staffs, hand to hand, and kick techniques, during the second half it brough in more mythological combat styles, and towards the end it gets even more insane with progressively more insane combat styles....
Kung Fu Hustle, Shaolin Soccer, King Of Cookery are the best example of how to adapt anime into live action and this films specifically feels like they are adaptation of a Shonen Anime This and Shaolin Soccer are my childhood i have seen them like 1000 times and I'm not exaggerating 😂😂😂
I absolutely LOVED Shaolin Soccer as a kid. We still have those two parts DVD of it, Kung Pow, and Kung Fu Hustle until now too. Been watching it since I was 7 lmao.
Haven’t watched this movie in YEARS, but now that I’ve rewatched parts of it with you guys, certain parts feel very anime-esque to me since I’ve been watching tons of anime lately. This movie brings back memories, man. Just tons of fun and an enjoyable movie. Loved the sht out of it tbh.
Stephen Chow is famously a big fan of videogames and anime and he's one of these filmmakers that never shy away from bringing anime to life. He's probably the best filmmaker to make a live-action anime adaptation movie. If someday they decide to make a Dragon Ball movie and he's the director, I'd say YES ! ABSOLUTELY !!!
@@alexvalestra They did, there is journey to the west which I still enjoy but is not as good as hustle or soccer. There is also a mermaid one I remember pretty much nothing about besides the fact I didn't like it
@@alexvalestra if you search movie starring by Stephen Chow i think you gonna find alot of good movie, like Fight back to school, CJ7, Flirting Schoolar, The God of cookery,...
Yess this movie slaps!! My favourite moment is when the landlady yells at the tailor (rings guy) and he makes the funniest crying sound and runs away 😂when my friend and i watched it the first time we couldn't stop rewinding to see it again lmao, that actor was awesome
*FYI:* the movie pay homage to a lot of traditional tropes from Wuxia genre, especially how the main lead was able to recover from all those injuries. It has a lot more meaning in to those familiar with the genre and the short of it is, it's the combination of the manuscript from his childhood (which gives him the foundation) + the snake bit + later injury. What doesn't kills you will make you significantly more powerful, and each of those fatal injury is a trial to pass a threshold. Saiyan and Senzu bean from Dragonball uses the same tropes in bean form, each time a Saiyan recover from near fatal injury, it has the same effect.
The guzheng (harp insturment) fight is still one of my favorite fights. Then again I also love many asian stringed instruments. They sound so beautiful.
@@tiffanyoates9856 Yes, it's part 2, but it's not a sequel to the first movie. It will be a new story but follow a similar path and crazy action with new characters. It's also set in a foreign country so i'm assuming since it's a Chinese movie, it could be set in early America or the UK this time, maybe even the Wild West with the railroad... can't wait to see what craziness they come up with today's CGI technology 😁
The toad style that the beast used is taken from "the return of the condor hero" and considered as one of the most deadly technique used by "the poison of the west" almost all of the character, and techniques from this movie is a direct reference to the classic kung-fu novel such as "the condor hero" , "the return of the condor hero", "the dragon slaying blade" , and many more.. (the land lady and landmaster is nicknamed as siau long lie and yao guo, which is the protagonists of the return of the condor hero)
@@daphnnepang7208 yes and it's considered nickname as in the "return of the condor heroes" novel they are pair of teacher-student, lovers, and also later husband and wife...
Yuen Qiu, The actress who played the landlady is an expert of both Chinese martial arts and Beijing-opera skills, and was apprenticed at the Peking Opera School under the same master, Yu Jim-yuen, as Jackie Chan, and Sammo Hung. She also had a small role in the James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun
The old man who sells books at the back of the movie, his name is Woo Ping, his Chinese name is yuan he ping, he is the action instructor of The Matrix, a real martial arts master
So, why has this film seemingly hit a big spike in popularity lately? I love that it has, its one of those great films everyone should see. The musical battle with the blues brothers type guys is one of the most epic things ever
@@mike04574 I knew it was popular, I remember reading about how it was China's highest grossing movie or something along those lines. I just meant recently it's been popping up on TH-cam a lot and it was put on Netflix.
I freaking love this movie. The action the comedy, the heart, and the overall imaginative badasserry mixed with the k owl edge of it being a parody of old king fu movies makes it that much better
Not a Chinese but Chinese movies were made fun for the excessive use of CGI. That's exactly what Hollywood is banking on in the name of super heroes now.
This movie probably has my favorite ending, its in the top 3 at the very least. I love the music, them working at the candy shop and how you see the younger selves of the guy and woman before he takes her into the candy shop.
And you see the residents from Pig Sty Alley walking in the background, including the Landlady and Landlord arm-in-arm, happily. The Axe Gang is no more, and all is well.
I absolutely love this film with my entire heart. I’ve seen it so many times and it doesn’t fail to bring me to tears every single time. I wish I could watch it for the first time again and be confused as fuck as to what I was watching 😂 The experience is unlike any other.
I can't believe you guys just watched this. Honestly. I LOVE this movie. This was my first Stephen Chow movie. I remember my sister and I watched it on Netflix around 2008. Because I was still in high school. I love re-watching it over and over. It still holds up and is just as hilarious every single time. I'm glad you guys enjoyed it! Shaolin Soccer next?
Omgggggggg it's the english voice over one that's the funny one because they changed the dialog to make it even more comedic. Everyone who reacts to this always watches the wrong one.
This is such a fantastic movie and I've seen it so many times. I love the blend of action and comedy. It definitely has bits where it feels like 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' with the cartoonish bits mixed into reality. Some really good humor and fantastic choreography.
This movie never gets old man, watched it back when i was a lil kif laughing my socks off during the scene where the landlord smashed onto the signboard
Awesome unexpected reaction. Saw it in theaters as a kid and most of the humor definitely went over my head. I remember feeling bad for characters that I now realize are literal punch lines.
@@UltimateGamerCC Yea, this movie is one of those rare Chinese movies where the English dubbed version is just as good or if not better. Trust me, the voice overs are spot on and hilarious! 😁
One of my fav Chinese cinema movies as a kid, and it still holds up! Stephen Chow is a genius! "Shaolin Soccer" should be your next..its sort of a predecessor to this. The intro to this movie had a wink wink homage joke/reference to it where Stephen Chow stomps on the soccer ball
You should check out Shaolin Soccer after this. Imagine this but with soccer. Also, Stephen Chow was in the running to do the live action DBZ movie before we got that horrible movie. He would have done an amazing job if he had done the DBZ movie.
"What are you prepared to do" was a reference to the movie The Untouchables, the line was from Sean Connery, who asks Ness after he gets shot. They shend one of yoursh to the hoshpital, you shend one of theirsh to the morgue. Thatsh the Chicago way.
The screeching landlady appeared in the 1974 James bond movie, The Man with the Golden Gun. In the movie, both her and her sister helped defend Bond (Roger Moore) when he escaped from the karate compound from which he was being held.
As a Chinese mother tongue speaker I gonna say, watching to English speaker doing the reaction of the greatest kung fu movie of all time it’s pretty enjoyable
The funniest scene to me is when the boss of the Axe Gang becomes terrified of the landlords and gets his hair ignited. Also, when the landlady finds lipstick on the landlords check and just starts rocking him with swings.
I've watched this movie from Cinema to TV, from TV to internet like thousand times and I still found it interesting everytime when I'm watching XD PS: 15:29 what the landlady do to the boss of Axe Gang was pay tribute to Bruce Lee
Love this movie. I saw it in theaters. And I actually really like the dub. Its kind of intentionally cheesy and terrible but its very faithful to the script. I never ever get tired of watching this movie. Its just such a super fun movie.
Go watch Flirting Scholar, Shaolin Soccer, God of Gambler and Journey To The West. As Asian kids me being Hmong we grew up watching Stephen Chow. Don’t let the outdated movie turn you down cause Mr. Chow is the King of Comedy. Enjoy guys.
This is such a classic movie! Also this is one of those rare movies where the English dubbed version is just as good, or in my opinion makes the movie more hilarious 😁
You were spot on about Looney Tunes! Stephen Chow is a fan of the cartoons, so his movies are heavily inspired by them. Shaolin Soccer is my personal favourite
Became a huge Stephen Chow fan after watching Shaolin Soccer, and this movie is right up there for me. Definitely check out The God of Cookery (Food Wars vibes!) Journey to the West, and King of Comedy, too. All pretty great!
I think the chosen one thing was definitely a reference like the rest, to the classic trope. Just the way it's presented almost like a 4th wall break makes me think you're supposed to see that and go "Oh they're self-aware of the trope and playing it straight", you get sudden stiff narration and glances at the camera when they're talking about "Did I forget to mention I'm a kung-fu master?" and it cuts to a flashback or blatant exposition like when the couple is talking about "the only way he could survive is if he was the one in a million kung fu genius!" just super monotone and cheesy on purpose.
Bruce Leung (The Beast) starred as "Bruce Lee" in "The Dragon Lives Again", wherein Bruce dies and goes to the Underworld, where he befriends Caine from Kung Fu and Popeye (yes, POPEYE), and battles the evil forces of Dracula, James Bond, Emmanuelle, The Godfather, and Clint Eastwood.
Awesome!! This movie is actually so entertaining and has great meaning. I get emotional when he spares The Beast and offers to teach him. He changes the Beast’s nature w forgiveness. The open hand instead of the fist. Very cool stuff!
A fun fact for you: the actress who played the landlady here also played one of Inspector Hip's nieces in the 'The Man With the Golden Gun' scene where Roger Moore's Bond escapes the Martial Arts school.
No sequel (I dont think it needs one) but before this Chow did Shaolin Soccer which you guys should totally watch. Very similar tone. In 2013 he directed Journey to the West which is based on the same ancient legend Dragonball is based on, and it's a super weird adventure fantasy.
This was too funny and Stephen Chow comedy genius to this movie. Should watch Shaolin Soccer that movie is masterpiece from Stephen Chow too Fact: actor that play landlord is same guy from Shang Chi who instructor that help Katy being that archer.
Toad Style, Buddha palm etcetera are all references to the old Shaw Brothers kung fu movies back to the 60s-70s. Most of the actors here are legendary HK action actors back in the days. This is Stephen Chow homage to the old KungFu shows.
You haven't seen this!!! Oh man I feel like this was actually a sneaky big deal movie for western audiences, I remember kids in highschool talking about it. Forget Crouching Tiger, if this movie didn't exist Parasite would have never won an oscar!!! PS, I like to say PS PSS, I like your channel
His old movies are all classics too but I guess they are hard to find nowadays plus eng subs back in the day really sucked. There’s probably like 100 movies he did that i’ve watched over 50 times growing up.
Esse filme é muito bom, principalmente na época que foi lançado, quando filmes de heróis e pessoas com poderes não era tão popular como nos dias atuais. Sem falar que é uma ótima comédia

Axe gang and music fight
yoouus have the bodies... of a kung fu MASTERS... 10000 hours of wing chu blesss yous... HAIRS AMAZINGNESS lolipops...meow
When the Shang-Chi movie came out, the Ten Rings reminded me of the iron rings used by one of the hidden masters (The Tailor). Incidentally the Landlord was in Shang-Chi too, as one of the elders in Talo.
THAT'S where I've seen him before 8)
And in Shang-Chi you can see a Kung Fu Hustle movie poster on his bedroom wall
His name is Yuen Wah, he was one of the ' seven little fortunes ' of the Peking Opera School. The other fortunes where also big names like Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao. Yuen Wah also doubled for Bruce Lee in 'Enter The Dragon'. The man is a real kung fu legend.
I know...people who watch kungfu hustle first will thought the same....🤣🤣
Yesss....!
absolutely one of the best martial arts type of movies ever made, doesnt take itself too seriously but it's got what everybody comes to expect from the genre, humor, atmosphere and ass-kicking.
And a great love story!
It's a martial art comedy, one of my favorites along side the Drunken Master with Jackie Chan.
Basically a "parody" movie that love their source material (martial arts/ kungfu movies) and actually respecting them.
I love how the series is an anagram from the power levels in chinese mytho's power level. That nuance i feel like is overshadowed. It started off as a karate film but by the end they covered all types of wu shu combat in the film.

Kung Fu Hustle, Shaolin Soccer, King Of Cookery are the best example of how to adapt anime into live action and this films specifically feels like they are adaptation of a Shonen Anime
This and Shaolin Soccer are my childhood i have seen them like 1000 times and I'm not exaggerating 😂😂😂
Also king of beggers
I absolutely LOVED Shaolin Soccer as a kid. We still have those two parts DVD of it, Kung Pow, and Kung Fu Hustle until now too. Been watching it since I was 7 lmao.
Every movie Stephen chow directed are straight up animes.
Shaolin Soccer
Kung fu hustle
Journey to the west
Mermaid
What do those movies have to do with anime? I watch Doraemon, Conan but it doesn't look like Stephen Chow's movies
Hilarious movie! Kung Fu Hustle is one of the best martial arts comedy ever made. Awesome reaction RR! Love you guys! 👍🏻❤
Try DOA
@@MemeHealer that comment 🤣
Have you ever watched Shaolin soccer?
Another great one!
@@MemeHealer Good looking actresses in DOA movie. Yeah, ive seen the film before.
Should have watched it in the English dub version it makes it even so much better!! And next they gotta do Shaolin Soccer!!
This is one of my favorites. I have three different copies of it (widescreen, standard, and steelbook). There is nothing wrong with me.
Hahaha
Hmm. I bought this movie 5 times in DVD. Am i okay?
There is absolutely nothing wrong with you
you good

Remember the old guy in Ta Lo that Katy was kinda butting heads with in Shang-Chi? He was Landlord in this. Yuen Wah.
You can never go wrong with Stephen Chow. One of the Masters of Comedy.
Stephen Chow, Jackie Chan and Jet Li single handedly carried the entertainment industry in the 90s and early 2000s. At least for me and my fam.
Too bad he’s not acting anymore though
I've seen this film more than 10 times, and always cracks me up from beginning to end

Classics for every Era of Kung fu loving comedy lover
Saw this on dvd years ago, still an instant classic. Literally like live action anime done right.
One of my favorite Kung Fu comedies. Can't believe you never seen it. XD
So, why has this film seemingly hit a big spike in popularity lately? I love that it has, its one of those great films everyone should see. The musical battle with the blues brothers type guys is one of the most epic things ever

I wonder that too. I see many videos about this movie that got a lot of viewers
I freaking love this movie. The action the comedy, the heart, and the overall imaginative badasserry mixed with the k owl edge of it being a parody of old king fu movies makes it that much better
It's about time. My father showed me this when I was 3. It was fast. It was ridiculous. It was fun. And I'm glad you guys felt the same

Kung fu hustle, Shaolin Soccer these two legendary movies never forget 🔥🔥🔥
I can't believe you guys just watched this. Honestly. I LOVE this movie. This was my first Stephen Chow movie. I remember my sister and I watched it on Netflix around 2008. Because I was still in high school.
I love re-watching it over and over. It still holds up and is just as hilarious every single time.
I'm glad you guys enjoyed it! Shaolin Soccer next?
I watched this 14 years ago, i am sorry it took you guys so long to watch/rewatch. Just glad that you have ❤️

Never seen this movie but the reaction was awesome and is definitely something I am gonna check out on my own time
watch the movie buddy......
it is a timeless masterpiece
it had anime level fights and cartoon level shenaningans
definitely worth a watch, if you can you should find the DVD, as that's where you can get the english version.
@@UltimateGamerCC Yea, this movie is one of those rare Chinese movies where the English dubbed version is just as good or if not better. Trust me, the voice overs are spot on and hilarious! 😁
You will not regret it. First time I watched it was back in 2006 and loved it ever since 😊
Idk why but the scene with them laughing at the chick while escaping is so hilarious to me because you expect the scene to cut but it keeps going.
This masterpiece. Stephen chow should receive in grammy award for this movie.
One of my fav Chinese cinema movies as a kid, and it still holds up! Stephen Chow is a genius! "Shaolin Soccer" should be your next..its sort of a predecessor to this. The intro to this movie had a wink wink homage joke/reference to it where Stephen Chow stomps on the soccer ball
Uncle Donut saying "What are you prepared to do?" is a direct reference to The Untouchables, and Sean Connery's death scene, word for word.
You should check out Shaolin Soccer after this. Imagine this but with soccer. Also, Stephen Chow was in the running to do the live action DBZ movie before we got that horrible movie. He would have done an amazing job if he had done the DBZ movie.
He directed DBZ evolution

Fight choreographer for this movie was Yuen Woo-Ping, whose work include Matrix 1-3 and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and much more.
You should definitely react to Shaolin Soccer after this.
As a Chinese mother tongue speaker I gonna say, watching to English speaker doing the reaction of the greatest kung fu movie of all time it’s pretty enjoyable
I'll never get tired of rewatching my favourite film - glad you guys enjoyed, too!
YOU HAVENT SEEN KUNG FU HUSTLE? WHAT! Classic movie, love it so much.
The lions roar was my favorite thing from this movie I swear😭😭😭
What I love the most is that it’s showing you more than telling you. Great movie one of my favorite
Greg did you get some PTSD about the ''no water'' statement from the lovely landlady?
This is one of those movies you don't get bored how many ever times you watch it great re-watch value
This movie is a classic! It's like a actual live action anime
The funniest scene to me is when the boss of the Axe Gang becomes terrified of the landlords and gets his hair ignited. Also, when the landlady finds lipstick on the landlords check and just starts rocking him with swings.
One of my favorite comedies of all time, on par with The Mask for me! So happy you reacted to it
I've watched this movie from Cinema to TV, from TV to internet like thousand times and I still found it interesting everytime when I'm watching XD
PS: 15:29 what the landlady do to the boss of Axe Gang was pay tribute to Bruce Lee
So good to see Aaron back, i loved your invincible reactions together
Just some extra info: In most Hong Kong movies, those extra's who were hit, they actually really get hit in the face and body.
Love this movie. I saw it in theaters. And I actually really like the dub. Its kind of intentionally cheesy and terrible but its very faithful to the script. I never ever get tired of watching this movie. Its just such a super fun movie.
Go watch Flirting Scholar, Shaolin Soccer, God of Gambler and Journey To The West.
As Asian kids me being Hmong we grew up watching Stephen Chow. Don’t let the outdated movie turn you down cause Mr. Chow is the King of Comedy. Enjoy guys.
Finally. One of my favorite Chinese movies, besides Jackie chan's. Xd
the twist is that Sing KNEW the kung fu, but his chi pathways were blocked. Getting his ass whooped opened them right up lol
This is such a classic movie! Also this is one of those rare movies where the English dubbed version is just as good, or in my opinion makes the movie more hilarious 😁
It's a tradition, he who reacts to Kung Fu hustle must also react to Shaolin soccer 🤷♂️, I'll be waiting 😤🙏
When I tell you I watched this movie MULTIPLE times as a kid and barely remember any of it😂
You mentioned Yuen Woo-Ping in your review ……he’s actually the dirty homeless guy in the movie selling the Kung fu Manuals
That's Yuen Cheung-yan his brother, not Yuen Woo-Ping.
You were spot on about Looney Tunes! Stephen Chow is a fan of the cartoons, so his movies are heavily inspired by them. Shaolin Soccer is my personal favourite
I have been waiting for this
Became a huge Stephen Chow fan after watching Shaolin Soccer, and this movie is right up there for me. Definitely check out The God of Cookery (Food Wars vibes!) Journey to the West, and King of Comedy, too. All pretty great!

This was too funny and Stephen Chow comedy genius to this movie. Should watch Shaolin Soccer that movie is masterpiece from Stephen Chow too
Fact: actor that play landlord is same guy from Shang Chi who instructor that help Katy being that archer.
Toad Style, Buddha palm etcetera are all references to the old Shaw Brothers kung fu movies back to the 60s-70s.
Most of the actors here are legendary HK action actors back in the days.
This is Stephen Chow homage to the old KungFu shows.
This is one of my all time favorite movies. It's quirky but oh so entertaining. Great reaction fellas.
Stephen Chow did action/comedy perfection both in this and Shaolin Soccer. I never get tired of those movies
Thank you for this gift
Shaolin Soccer is one to check out.
You haven't seen this!!! Oh man I feel like this was actually a sneaky big deal movie for western audiences, I remember kids in highschool talking about it. Forget Crouching Tiger, if this movie didn't exist Parasite would have never won an oscar!!!
PS, I like to say PS
PSS, I like your channel
My ex husband introduced me to this movie like 20 years ago, it's 🔥🔥🔥
This movie is live action anime
Kung Fu Hustle is basically a parody of common Martial Arts/Chosen One story trope. Its one of if not the best parody movie of all time
"you know he's the protagonist if he shaves off his goatee" was the most fire call
You havent watched kungfu hustle ? Wow it's incredibly rare to find someone who hasn't watched this movie!
Watched this a lot as a kid. You should check out Shaolin Soccer, another Stephen Chow film kinda like this one.
I can't believe y'all have never watched this movie. I sometimes wonder what Stephen Chow is doing with his career now. He's so talented.
Yo this movie is 🔥
The movie is literally "here's Kung Fu archetype heroes done with a sharp sense of humor and a deep reverence of the genre at the same time."
His old movies are all classics too but I guess they are hard to find nowadays plus eng subs back in the day really sucked. There’s probably like 100 movies he did that i’ve watched over 50 times growing up.
11:15. The genuine laughter there
Esse filme é muito bom, principalmente na época que foi lançado, quando filmes de heróis e pessoas com poderes não era tão popular como nos dias atuais. Sem falar que é uma ótima comédia
